Give Them A Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery 1t is. Not only
the larger air passages, but the
thousands of little tubes and cavi
ties leading from them.
When these are clogged and chok
ed with matter which ought not to
be there, your lungs cannot do their
work And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu-
monia, catarrh, consumption or any
of the family of throat and nose and
head and lung distractions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid Of.
There is just one sure way to get rid
of them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell you at % cents bottle.
Even if every thing else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain. july22eow.

Bells Royal Marionettes will begin
3-nights engagement at Washing
ton Hall. The Balo. Sun says:
A crowded house greeted Bells
Royal Marionettes while in this city
at Fords opera house, and a more
delighted audience could not he
found. The entertainment opened
with prof. Ellis's slight of hand per-
Torrance, in which he did some
wonderful tricks. Following this
was the minstrel scene, which was
very amusing. So natural were fig
ures ard gestures that many persons
really took them to be real, while the
dancing, dislocating skeleton mis- some
thing wonderful.
The new features Of the entertain
ment since their last visit here were
Miss Adels Gilbert assisted by Sig.
Giovanni on their musical glasses,
producing the sweetest sounds on Il
set of ordinary goblets while the per-
Torrance of Sig. Giovanni's troupe
of birds delighted all. Nine Strons's
Fata Morgana at the close showed
some very fine views. At the close
100 elegant presents were distribut
ed.
Admission 80 and 80 cents. Re-
served seat tickets at Geo. Lights.

Another Western Connection.

The transfer connecting the Ches-
apeakc and Ohio and Kanawha and
Ohio railways across the Kanawna
river a half mile above Charleston,
w. Va, was completed Thursday
By this transfer the Kanawha and
Ohio is given an eastern outlet, and
the Chesapeake and Ohio a more
direct route to Cleveland, Toledo
and other lake cities. The Kanawha
and Ohio already have a number OF
cars on hand to be transferred and
more are coming. 1t is estimated
by the officers of the two roads that
two hundred cars per day will be
exchanged.

A Great Increase.

The total shipments eff bitumin-
coal over the Norfolk and Western
Railroad for the year up to August
20 were 7l4,647 ton, against 52l, 500
tons ut the same time last years, an
increase of 1913 tons. This is
at the rate of over 100000 tons Il
wear. When it is remembered that
the POcahOntas coal mines were only

rapidly Southwestern Virginia is i'm

promises to be a valuable mineral hand

GRAB 1T QUICK.
The Latest Scheme of the New County
Protectors.

The scheme, in some respects, is of
more colossal proportions than any of the
speculative ideas evolved from the fertile
brains of Wyoming counterfeits of the
imaginative Col. Sellers.
M. G. Barrow, of the Budget and c.
E. Clay a leading merchant of Douglas,
are at present explaining the idea and
extolling its advantages to the Cheyenne
people.
1t Is suggestion typical of the modern
divisionist and is something like this:
A new county is to he organized af-
ter authority has been granted by
the tenth legislative assembly. In shape
the newly created subdivision of
the territory will be a parallel
ogram l30 miles in width and about sew
enty miles 10 depth, including all that
portion Of Albany and Laramie counties
north of the seventh standard parallel
and the south line of township twenty
eight and about twenty miles of the
northern half of Carbon county, including
the oil tlelds OF that region.
Douglas is near the geographical center
of the contemplated county, and with
Lusk aspires to be the county seat.
A LEADER reporter carefully ~investi-
gated the matter yesterday afternoon and
learned that the portion of Laramie
county taken from the existing subdivision
contains property valued at 81. 700, 900.
The taxes accruing from this amount
alone would support an economical
county quite respectfully, to say nothing
of the other valuable property which
would be within its borders.
In case the promoters of the legislation
to result in the organization of a ninth
county are successful, which seems quite
probable at present, the county seat cleo
ton will be watched with considerable in
terest by Cheyenne and Laramie people.
Lusk doesn't boast a great deal about
population, but when it comes to polling
votes they retire to the rear for no com
munity.

Effect.

The doubling of the passenger and
mail service between Omaha and Ogden
will be of greater advantage to Cheyenne
and other Wyoming points than many
supposed upon hearing the welcome an-
nouncement.
Primarily the transaction Of business
will be greatly facilitated. Orders received
by Cheyenne merchants from Western
customers can be filled upon the day of
booking. Under the present arrange
ment it is almost impossible to prepare a
consignment of goods for shipment in the
brief period between the arrival of the
eastbound train shortly before noon and
the departure of the westbound train at
Clio o'clock.
